well, just the latest in a long history of this printer being a POS... but it's my POS & I need to limp along and get some jobs out, since I'm not ready to take it out back and shoot it quite yet...
...so, until a technician shows up with the new roll assembly, and puts back all those springs & gears that spilled out all over the floor... I'm as good as dead to make any money... unless I can trick the printer!
So, unlike my old mimaki JV3, this L25500 isn't set up for printing sheets... only rolls, and it always wants to know everything about the roll, so HP tells me there is no way to print until everything gets fixed.
I'm not surprised that the HP lab coat geeks say I "can't" bypass the whole roll loading process, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone here knew a way to get a job out in a bind like this.
Anyone else ever had years of heavy rolls slamming in to the weakass plastic parts result in a broken roll assembly? I always knew this day would come.
I've had mysterious small chipped plastic parts fly out of this thing before, so it was just a matter of time.
